This was actually the first Volvo I bought in America probably around 1983. I think it was a 1966 model year. Paid $500 for it. Did an Earl Scheib paint job, detailed interior and wheels. Sold for $4000.00…in 1983!
Fun fact, if you want to call it that: Earl Scheib ceased to exist in 2010.
I have owned many cars since I was old enough to drive. In my mind, there have mostly been American cars but I started to look through my photo albums and I guess there has been a few Volvos too over the years:
1962 Volvo 544.
1966 Volvo 122S
1967 Volvo 122S
1984 764GLE diesel with a dead engine…
…so I fixed it with a Camaro IROC 350 Fuel Injected 350 V8
745 Turbo
Volvo 850 wagon
1988 Volvo 740 Turbo Intercooler
2004 Volvo V70
245DL wagon
1967 Volvo 123GT Swedish Version
1967 Volvo 123GT X 2
“Helga” Volvo 245DL
1982 Volvo 245 Turbo wagon
…and more…
